SportingShooter 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Wandering how many on here were there? I was. Albeit rather young Not being a Huntsmen myself, I went with a few family members, Cousins mostly, who Hunt in West Wales. It was some sight there. Took hours I remember to get through onto the main route through London, only at the end, we knew how many actually attended, 400,000 odd. I enjoyed it, and I can say I was there.

Foxgun Tom 75 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I was there and we!! Scots got a special applause from our counterparts south of the border we had pipers, a sea of saltires and lion rampants and I was also interviewed by the BBC and a Dutch tv station I attended every march and rally I was asked to!! My signature photo of Clarrie, Johnny Scott and myself was taken at Trafalgar Square after the Liberty and Livliehood march my own view at the time was " Why are we doing this on a Sunday? we would have been more effectual marching on a weekday and closing London for the day!!" It was!! and still is the largest peacefull march/demonstration London has ever seen, I still have my march pass's Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I was at the first 'gathering' (hardly a march) at Grassmere in the Lakes, can't remember the year. .... Then the Hyde Park rally, .... After that 1st March '98, ..... 22nd Sept '02 ...... Chester racecourse (can't remember the year....'03?) ...... Brighton, was that '03? My memory is obscured by spending the rest of the day in the pub with some rather nice young hunting girls dressed as bunnys ( the Heffner type, anyone remember, they did make the national press?), very Port Out, Starboard Home, but great fun . Only blot on my copybook was Scotland....Bugger!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
